Repressuring SAGD gas cap using combustion
Burning bitumen in-situ to add pressure
Several novel approaches exist to repressuring depleted gas caps over thermal schemes. In this one, the applicant is using combustion to ignite residual bitumen in the gas cap to boost gas cap pressure. The application discusses problems with monitoring wells for such a project.
